Second Boeing 777X Aircraft Makes Successful First Flight


Yesterday, 30 April, Boeing achieved another important milestone as it successfully conducted the first flight of the second 777X airplane.

Commanded by Captains Ted Grady and Van Chaney, the aircraft flew for 2 hours and 58 minutes over Washington state before landing at Seattle's Boeing Field at 2:02 p.m. Pacific.

Designated WH002, the airplane is the second of four in a dedicated flight test fleet and will test handling characteristics and other aspects of airplane performance.

An array of equipment, sensors and monitoring devices throughout the cabin allows the onboard team to document and evaluate the airplane's response to test conditions in real time.

The 777X test plan lays out a comprehensive series of tests and conditions on the ground and in the air to demonstrate the safety and reliability of the design.

To date, crews have flown the first airplane nearly 100 hours at a variety of flap settings, speeds, altitudes and system settings as part of the initial evaluation of the flight envelope.

With initial airworthiness now demonstrated, the team can safely add personnel to monitor testing onboard instead of relying solely on a ground-based telemetry station, unlocking testing at greater distances.

The 777X includes the 777-8 and the 777-9, the newest members of Boeing's widebody family. In a typical 2-class configuration, the 777-8 will carry 384 passengers, while the 777-9 will carry 426 passengers.

Wow! Stunning! Hilton seems to be taking Africa by storm. Just a couple of years back, they opened the first ever in Eswatini.

I am really tempted to book the next ethiopian airlines ticket and relive your journey. The pictures shared with the post also reflect that you truly enjoyed the travel. Great post! I also like the fact that you have covered nuances about the food and entertainment service through the pictures. It helps people know what to expect on their travel by this airline.
